Hello
one and all,
I
hope this newsletter finds you well. The picture on the
right is something I had to share with you.
This
past weekend, I was in California, doing a live presentation for
Ann Clemmer.
Ann
is also a coaching client of mine, and makes a point of
mentioning how annoyed she gets when she reluctantly does
something I ask her to do and gets the results I tell her she's
going to get.
Well,
she surprised me by unveiling this homemade t-shirt to the
entire audience this weekend. I still can't get over it!
Thanks,
Ann. You're the best!
BTW,
if you'd like to get in on the fun and set up a live
presentation for your group or downline, I have a very limited
number of openings in the Fall and the first half of 2007.
Feel free to get
in touch with me for more info.
Warmest
regards,
John

Study Group! If you're
looking forward to the new fiscal year and would really
like to hit the ground running, the SIMB
Study Group, beginning April 17th, may be for
you!
The SIMB
Study Group is a low-cost way to increase your
stamping business knowledge and establish
accountability. If you've been thinking about
getting involved with Coaching, but just want to get
your feet wet first, this could be the option for you.
Beginning

once per month, for twelve months, for one hour.
Each
month, we will discuss one or two chapters of the book
and go into much greater depth and detail.
I will also ask you to complete tasks at the end of each
call.
The Study
Group will begin on April 17th and will meet on the third
Monday of each month, at either Noon or 10:00 p.m.
(eastern). If you cannot make a call, don't
worry...all calls will be recorded and you will
have access to them. You will never have to
miss a call!
You will
also have access to me. If you ever have a
question or problem that you would like coaching on, you
will be able to get in touch with me via e-mail for a
timely response.
The best
part of the Study Group
is the price - just $19.99 per month!
If you
want to be involved, you MUST sign up before the first
call. For more

The
Top 3 Recruiting Fears... and
Why You Shouldn't Let Them Stop You!
|
|
When
you think about having to recruit other people into your
stamping business, what goes through your mind?
Are you excited? Are you scared? Do those
fears prevent you from speaking to as many people as you
should about the opportunity?
Well,
you're not alone. Most stamping professionals feel
very uncomfortable trying to recruit new downlines.
Listed below are the Top 3 Fears Stamping Business
Owners have about recruiting (and why you don't have to
worry about them):
1.
They're going to say 'no.'
You're
absolutely right! Some of them ARE going to say
'no.' In fact, you're going to hear 'no' more
than you're going to hear 'yes.' So what?
Remember, they're not saying 'no' to you.
They're saying 'no' to the business opportunity.
Don't take it personally...and remember - each 'no'
brings you one person closer to your next 'yes.'
2.
I'm annoying them.
Not
if you do it right. Recruiting is a process with
several steps, and you're potential recruit dictates
what you're next step is. We cover this in
detail on the Recruiting
101 CD. Basically, as long as you go through
the process with each prospect one step at a time,
you'll never annoy anyone. .
3.
I don't know who to talk to.
Yes,
you do. Quite simply, you speak to everyone.
Make a list of everybody you know.....then call them.
This is a numbers game. It's very easy....the
more people you speak to, the more people will say
'yes.' Don't keep people off the list because
they don't live nearby, or because YOU think they're
busy. Remember, if you decide someone isn't
going to be interested in the opportunity to join you
in your stamping business, they won't be...because
you'll never speak to them about it. Don't
create self-fulfilling prophecies!

Stamping
Business Q&A
How
Do I Get More Customers?
Part
1
A
Different Kind of Class
One
way to attract more customers is to offer untraditional
classes. There are large segments of the
population who aren't interested in stamping cards, or
even scrapbook pages. However, those people might
be interested in stamping something else. Offer
classes with less traditional projects. For
example:
-
silk scarves
-
picture frames
-
lampshades
-
jewelry
-
walls & borders
-
coasters
-
cups
The
list really is endless. You're only limited by
your imagination.
Remember, the more class options you offer, the more
likely you're going to offer something somebody will
want.
(If
there's a question you'd like answered, or a topic you'd
like me to cover, feel free
to
send
me an e-mail)
